now, there is president morsi, and we do not know if he is the president of egypt or the president of the muslim brotherhood. >> islamists who dominate the assembly have already answered that question -- the body signed off on all 234 articles of the constitution, which is based upon the principles of sharia or islamic law. the constitution maintains sharia as the main source of legislation. it also gives women no guarantee of equal rights, since the rights must conform with sharia. religious leaders will also be able to directly influence egyptian legislation in the future. secular and christian representatives boycotted the vote. they had already withdrawn from the assembly weeks ago. in a television interview, morsi again tried to appease the opposition forces. he said the sweeping forces to granted himself last week will only remain until a constitution goes into effect, but that is not enough for his opponents who have vowed to keep on protesting. >> those protests have been growing steadily all day. let's bring now our correspondent live from cairo. just how divided is -- right

this is the road map for egypt's future. and i think the heady first days of the revolution, many people imagine quite a sweeping overhaul of egypt's institutions. that's not going to happen. after a rather convoluted transition process and around pretty tight deadline the drafters have decided to start with egypt's former constitution and tinker with that. they didn't look around the world and find the best possible models and start from scratch and put something together. they've been sort of twisting and turning the old constitution to try to tweak it to work better and they have done some things that everyone here wanted. they're ending the old imperial presidency that hosni mubarak and his predecessors used to rule over egypt. they're barring torture, ending detention without trial. on a lot of other areas it's a little bit of a muddle. there are protections for individual rights but also rather expansive guarantees against insults of individuals or fro fetes or other icons that could clash with freedom of expression an

one day we see the new government of egypt stepping up to mediate a cease-fire in gaza. the next it is raising concerns through new far-reaching constitutional decrease. we see territories slipping from the grip of the assad even as the opposition faces questions about it some coherence and the presence of extremists in its midst. libya has freely elected moderate leaders and has also come home to extremists and roving militias. iran continues to cling to its nuclear ambitions while its economy crumbles. just today, the palestinian authority, which has iseschewed the violent path of hamas and others, pursued a counterproductive path at the un. i will have more to say about that tomorrow night at the forum here in washington, but for today let me offer this one thought for u.s. strategy in the region going forward -- we cannot view any of these challenges in a vacuum. they are all connected. our strategy needs to account for the intersections and relationships. for example, you cannot understand what happens in gaza without tracking the path of the rockets from iran. or h
